“Known for [an] encyclopedic knowledge…”
– the Robb Report

The reliability and accuracy of a watch appraisal is dependent on the level of experience, thoroughness, and expertise of the appraiser involved.

 

At Master of Time, the expert father-and-daughter team draw upon their combined many decades of experience in the field and an ideal blend of complementing skill-sets and areas of knowledge.

 

We welcome the opportunity to assist and guide you with the proper valuation of your watch. For more information on any aspect of our appraisal process and our evaluation services, please contact us at: mastersoftime@gmail.com

Whether you are looking for a verbal Fair Market Valuation, or a written Insurance Replacement Appraisal for one individual watch or a collection of timepieces, you can depend on Master of Time for an informed, reputable, and reliable approach.

 

Formal watch appraisals should be reviewed periodically, every few years. However, given the ever-increasing rate at which the values of some watch brands and models fluctuate, we strongly advise that you have your certificates updated more frequently, to ensure the adequacy of the insurance value.

 

Contact us with any further questions and to find out how the latest trends in the watch market might have impacted the value of your watch.

At Master of Time, we break down our appraisal process into these steps:

 

  • close inspection of the watch components, such as case, dial, movement, bracelet, etc.
  • assessment of the age, condition, authenticity, and any unusual features of the watch 
  • gathering of facts regarding aspects such as the quality of materials used, markings, hallmarks, level of craftmanship, technical specifications 
  • making note of special design elements and historical aspects and context
  • research of past and current sales and market data for the same or similar watch models
